Using VSHARE.386
----------------
VSHARE.386 eliminates the need for SHARE.EXE when you run Windows 3.1
or Windows for Workgroups in 386 enhanced mode. If you run Windows 3.1
in standard mode, you still need to run SHARE.EXE. If you run
applications that are not compatible with SHARE.EXE, and you run
Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode, you may be able to use VSHARE.386
instead of SHARE.EXE.
To install the updated VSHARE.386 file
--------------------------------------
If you are running Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or 3.11 in 386 enhanced
mode, you are already using VSHARE.386. If you are running Windows
3.1, use the following procedure to install VSHARE.386 version
3.11.0.401:
1. Quit Windows 3.1.
2. Insert the enclosed disk in the appropriate floppy disk drive.
3. To copy the file to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory, type the
following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER
copy <drive>:\vshare.386 <destination>
where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the DJLOPE disk
and <destination> is the drive and directory of your Windows SYSTEM
subdirectory.
For example, if the DJLOPE disk is in drive A and your Windows
directory is called WINDOWS and is on drive C, type the following
at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER:
copy a:\vshare.386 c:\windows\system
4. Using a text editor (such as MS-DOS Editor), edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file and remove the command for SHARE.EXE.
5. Edit the [386Enh] section in your SYSTEM.INI file to add the
following line:
device=vshare.386
6. Save the SYSTEM.INI file and load Windows normally.
